out of memory error trying to install devbio-napari on a machine with 8GB ram #12

Closed thawn closed 2 years ago

conda install -c conda-forge devbio-napari fails with an out of memory error on a ubuntu 20.04 machine (a VM) with 8GB RAM.

maybe, the memory requirement should be documented somewhere?

NB: the large memory requirement happens in the "solving environment" step of the installation. Would it help to install the dependencies in smaller batches?

update: installing napari seems to require ~10-12GB RAM. Should we update the requirements in the documentation accordingly?

switching to mamba solved the issue for me
